Why we read it this way (8)
No specific work location is stated in the posting; CBSA/state fields are left blank. The role involves CONUS and OCONUS deployment support but the engineer's home base is not specified.
The DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification requirement names Security+, CASP, or CISSP as acceptable options — these are treated as interchangeable alternatives for a single hard gate.
The posting requires 10+ years of overall professional software development experience AND 5+ years of DoD/Department of the Navy systems experience; the overall years minimum reflects the 10-year overall floor.
The '14+ years professional software development experience' appears under Desired qualifications and is not a hard gate.
Scripting languages (Perl, PowerShell, Batch, iSQL) and Apache Ant XML are listed under Desired; Batch and iSQL were not emitted as standalone skills given their narrow/legacy scope, but Perl, PowerShell, and Apache Ant are captured as preferred.
NALCOMIS/OOMA systems familiarity and Navy/Marine Corps aviation maintenance knowledge are listed as desired but name no discrete technology tool, so they are omitted per extraction rules.
The very wide salary range ($114,600–$252,100) likely reflects CACI's standard band across multiple geographic locations and contract labor categories, as the posting itself acknowledges.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
